I'm just getting around to milling up some pine I have on my property.
I put a new (bought 18 months ago) Woodland Pro rip chain on and it's not cutting well at all.
I'm getting fine dust. I only get ribbons when going through knots.
The material is a large sugar pine I dropped 18 months ago.
I left the bark on to slow drying (or was just too lazy to peel it) but it comes right off now.
The moisture content is 35% as we had a very wet winter.
So for comparison I put a 'regular' chain on (30 degree grind) and it cuts about 35 to 50% faster.
Chips are larger but it's still dust.
Do the WP chains need raker adjustment right out of the box?
thanks-
